But there is good (for me) news.
So my parents are becoming world travelers now that my dad has retired, and they've joined all the retiree things that do time shares and trip planning.
They're going to China in March.
And today they just asked me if I wanted to go with them.
Uh, hello? Heck YEAH!!!!!
And my mother-in-law might be able to watch the kids.
Luckily for my me, my husband has no desire to be a world traveler, unlike his psychotic wife. He's already given me his blessing to go with no hard feelings.
But if my parents go to Japan, I'm not going without him.
Or to Australia without him.
But dang! How lucky and blessed am I? Out of their 5 kids they picked me. How totally spiffy is that?!? Granted, I am the poorest out of the siblings, but still, I am so amazed and grateful that they want to take me. I believe that these experiences that I've had in my life, living in Australia, visiting Germany, and now hopefully China, will help me with the one thing that I've wanted to do my whole life. Write better fictional novels.
But now - I have to lose some weight to go. Which means, more walking, more watching my intake of types (not necessarily amounts) of food, and just getting and staying active.
4 1/2 months - I can lose like 20 pounds in there right? Maybe?
FOR CHINA!!!!!! (my new battle cry)
